The Final Leave
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Faith is growing cold
this death is silent saying
In the name of all we've loved
replacing youth with aging
Held back in this dark
Trapped inside an empty shelter
Can you feel it deep inside?
A longing for damnation
For a final time, to weep
We're laid in unknown darkness
As out wings will grow too old
To realize our nightmares
When the day has come to rise
There is no truth in dying
Once this bitter tale will end
when we are long time gone
To remind us of the sun
Emptiness to hide our freedom
There's no angel waiting
In the name of all once loved
We fail to reach the light
Held back in this dark…
See, your darkness fading
Hear, your soul is crying
Feel, a touch, a whisper
Hold your breath until the dawn
For a final time, to weep...
